BLUR. With baby set up and safely watched by mom, I dialed down to a low Aperture/f-stop for that buttery, blurry background effect. My f-stop was a 2.0, Shutter Speed was 1/100th (or 100) of a second, and ISO was 320.

Thank you MeRa… Those nuggets of information about bad ideas are always so helpful to me. I know I’ve got plenty of them! Ha ha … but it is so true. And I realize how those ideas pave the way for the better ones… and eventually the good ones too.

LOVE IT! This is going to be my mantra on every shoot! I know you’ve said it before, again and again, but keep on saying it! Thanks Me Ra 🙂

Great post Me Ra! You’re so right about the bad ideas- thanks for that reminder. Jeramy, your comment made me laugh ‘cos where I’m from SA stands for South Africa so I was all, ‘huh? When were they in South Africa?’ LOL!

oh MAN!! what a GORGEOUS, BLISSFUL shot Me Ra! And I’m so darn happy I can understand your recipes now!! How many !!!!! can I type in a row! Yay! Even if I don’t have an ISO 320. 😀
Yes, after setting up close to 20 workshops I went to the San Francisco one and I’m a new gal. What fun it is to laugh and sing with my camera going ‘ding’ (think Jingle Bells).
But wow, to capture that shot Me Ra, is heavenly. Thanks so much. FYI, I saw it w/o the chair legs at first. Even more heavenly.
